Unfortunately, particularly in the world of sports predictions, the majority are often right. Similarly, if you look at sportsbetting platforms, they all tend to have the same or at least similar odds for their games, since they all use the same set of parameters or source for their predictions.

However, you do get some particularly skilled people that are able to spot discrepencies in the odds, where one team or player has not been given the due credit they deserve and has had the odds incorrectly stacked against them. Sadly, I'm not one of these players, as I tend to settle for small, low odds gains.

Last time I won when going against the majority was on the Wilder/Fury fight, I bet on a draw in the 11th round.

Yes, going against the crowd in sports betting is always a mistake because from experience most times they are always right but I have actually made my decision contrary to what the majority believed. I didnt really do that for any genuine reason anyway, that was about 3 years ago or so, cant remember precisely, but I just wanted to be funny and I had the money to waste then. But as luck would have me, that match was in my favor and many thought I knew something I didnt share.

I think sometimes following ones emotions in gambling can go a long way to save one from loses and stress, its one I experience I will not forget in a lifetime.
